Students will buy these themselves and bring to each lesson. Additional resources are from MEP, click HERE HOMEWORK
A variety of tasks can be set ranging from short Q&A to extended pieces of investigation work. When you set homework you MUST mark it and record it. You should also ask students to make summary notes of each chapter as independent study. Fronter has been loaded with a wealth of homework practice which students should be directed to by you. Students are expected to spend as much time outside lessons as in them i.e. about 5 hours on maths outside lessons each week. Most of this time will be spent on homework set by the teacher. = I am confident with what I am doing (able) set Mixed exercise/review exam style questions = I am ok with this but could do with a little more practice (so-so) set questions from normal exercises focussing on end of exercise questions = I am struggling with this topic/subject (weak) set usual exercises for extra practice (Ex 1A, 1B etc.) FMSP REVISION COURSES Payment to be collected before the publication of revision dates. Places to be allocated on a first come first served basis. Deposits to be collected by front office and must NOT be handled by the Maths department. G&T PROVISION Pure Investigations and Pure what if & why problems for the most able from The Centre for Teaching Maths (Plymouth University) covering C1-C4 RULES FOR CLOSING THE GAP: Know your students; Plan effectively; Enthuse & Inspire; Engage & Guide; Feedback appropriately & Evaluate together. ASSESSMENT: What about short tests in class? Teachers should simply get students to do questions straight from the book to avoid printing costs maybe do a couple of carefully chosen questions each month to assess student retention of prior learning or maybe flash a select few questions on the IWB Alternatively, the Integral website from FMSP has lots of End of chapter assessments speak to Mr Mani about these
